Fall Color and Music (October 6, 2020)

Interesting ride today of some 35 miles. Went to Absolute Music in Fairborn for the first time, needed a new set of guitar strings. Nice store and enjoyed the visit. Before that went to the Clark County Park to see some fall color. After the guitar store visit saw a few more of the Halloween displays in Fairborn. It was a nice afternoon ride, with a temperature outside of around 73 and a slight breeze. Enjoyed being out and looking forward to my next ride. 

 

First October Ride (October 3, 2020)

Another 30 mile adventure in Ohio. Cruised down some new backroads and while out discovered Indian Creek Distillery. Had read about it, finally found it just off Highway 201. Got this photo, they were having an art event and were open, but I am not a big whiskey/bourbon fan. Still some cool either old or old looking buildings. As I was out the sunny skies started to give way to the scene below. Fuel light had come on, so got some gasoline and then shortly after got the motorcycle home. Good ride though and looking forward to the next one.    

   

 

Sunday Cruise (September 27, 2020)

Nice Sunday morning ride and a beautiful fall day to enjoy it. Rode to a number of places such as the National Museum of the US Air Force to see the C-17 there. That is the prototype model by the way, as there is a lot of history within and outside of the museum. Enjoyed some early fall color at Carriage Hill Park, rode past a group of motorcyclists getting together for a group ride. Sadly came across a car crash near the end of the ride at 235 and 40. Found out a while after getting home that there was a death there. With that exception it was a very nice day out on the road. 

 

First Ride of Fall (September 25, 2020)

Beautiful weather and a good time to see some early signs of Fall color during a ride to Springfield and into Snyder Park there. Nice old park which reminds me of some of the parks in Louisville, Kentucky and Richmond, VA with the old stone work and the old buildings/structures there. Nice place to explore and both these photos are from there (above and below). Will have to check out the history of the place but sure made for a great first ride of fall this year. Looking forward to some great adventures coming up soon.  

 

Last Ride of Summer 2020 (September 21, 2020)

Last official day of Summer 2020, in what is hands down one of the strangest years I've ever experienced. In the days of the virus, grateful for my wife and this fantastic motorcycle. Have enjoyed wonderful adventures with both of them. Looking forward to Fall which is my favorite riding season. Love to see the leaves changing and frankly enjoy the cooler temperatures. On this last day of Summer rode into Fairborn where I got photos of the Halloween decorations going up. They do love Halloween there for sure! Will have more photos in the near future, thank you for visiting my pages.  

     

 

Waco Fly-in (September 18, 2020)

Nice fall morning and got in a 40 mile motorcycle ride to the Waco Air Museum. Went to see if the Fly-in was going to happen, and looks like it will. I got a few photos below of some of the arriving planes, with more to come today. Going back there tomorrow with my wife and will have photos from that visit (with some others) on my "Ohio and Me" page. As for this had a great visit. Love aviation and biplanes and this was a nice motorcycle ride as well, so have to call this a perfect morning in Ohio.  

 

Flight Ride (September 14, 2020)

Nice short ride on this fine Monday. Low heat and humidity and felt good once again to get my knees in the breeze. While I was out running around, so was this Air Force C-17. I live very close to the base and fun to see them up in the sky. As for me, rode into New Carlisle and down 571 for a time. Turned down a new road and explored a bit before heading back to the house after a fuel stop. I also saw a bit of fall color which can be seen in the last photo below.
